Original Art for the Hallway

Yes. The tallest pieces in this group reach about 152 cm, and widths start around 30 cm, so there are vertical canvases made for a wall you walk past rather than stand in front of. Tall and narrow also keeps the frame out of shoulder range in a tight corridor. Measure the clear run of wall between the doors first, then match the width to that number.

No. Shipping is free and fully insured on every order, however many pieces you buy, inside Canada and to the USA. Canadian orders arrive in about 3 to 7 business days and American orders in about 5 to 10. Each canvas is boxed for its own size and weight, so pieces in one order can leave separately and land a day or two apart.

This group starts around $80, sits near $450 in the middle, and tops out around $3,000. The inexpensive pieces are small, not lesser. We do not list a work we would refuse to hang in our own hallway, and every one is hand painted, signed, and shipped with a Certificate of Authenticity. A small original at $80 is better company than a large print at any price.

Nahira. Her acrylic canvases carry the boldest figures in this group, including Layers of Her, Solar Stare, Crimson Command, and Verdant Gaze. A single strong face at the end of a corridor gives the eye somewhere to land as you walk toward it. Amir Fazelian, Peyman Mehdizadeh, and Ziba Vishteh are the quieter choices here if you want the hallway to stay calm.

Tell us right away, send photos, and we sort it out. Every shipment is fully insured, and the claim is ours to handle, not yours to chase. Keep the box and the packing material until the piece is on the wall and you are happy with it, because we may ask for photos of how it arrived. This is separate from the 14-day trial, which covers a simple change of mind.

Yes, we do private viewings by appointment in Vancouver. Write to us with the pieces you are weighing up and we will have them out and lit when you arrive. That matters for a hallway, because corridor light is usually dimmer than photographs suggest. If you cannot travel to us, the 14-day home trial does the same job in your own light and at our cost.

In a hallway around 90 cm wide, choose works up to about 40 cm (16 in) across, with fine detail that rewards viewing from arm's length. Your viewing distance equals the width of the hall, so large textured canvases meant for across-the-room viewing turn into a blur there.

Let the length of the wall decide: one work per 1 to 1.5 metres of corridor keeps the rhythm calm. Hang them at a shared centre height of 145 cm with even 8 to 10 cm gaps, and connect them by medium, palette, or subject so the run reads as one idea.

Centre every piece at about 145 cm (57 in) from the floor, the standard gallery eye level, and keep that line consistent down the whole corridor. In hallways people are always standing, never seated, so this height works without the compromises a sofa or headboard forces elsewhere.

One confident original above the console table, chosen for warmth rather than grandeur. The entry is the first sentence of your home, and guests read it in seconds. A piece with genuine human feeling says more about the household than an imposing formal work ever does.

Small originals start around $72 with us, so a five-piece corridor sequence of hand-painted, signed works is often cheaper than one large canvas. Every piece, whatever its size, comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and free fully insured shipping across Canada and the USA.

Hang each work from two hooks so it stays level and secure when shoulders and bags brush past, and keep frames out of the arc of every door. Put works on paper under glass in high-traffic corridors, since glass shrugs off the occasional touch that would mark bare paper.

A windowless hallway with no lighting is a poor home for subtle original work, because nobody can see it. Add simple corridor lighting first, or choose high-contrast pieces that survive dim conditions. We would rather say this plainly than sell a painting into the dark.
